    These while a tad more expensive than buying 2 singles seemed to me in person to be more rigid and better quality than the single one.

    I'd say it's entirely possible, you'd be sweating bullets by the end of it.
    I have done something similar except I have one of those two wheeled hand trolleys that makes the stairs and ramps a whole lot easier.

    That's not entirely true, you have options, you could drive and then Kayak and then drive to get to either of those stores. even hitchhiking on this side of the water would save you some dollars

    I like the look of those units from Fantastic. I'm guessing that the shelves aren't adjustable though, it looks like they are fastened directly to the glass.

    Yeah, the Fantastic Furniture shelf isn't adjustable, but it is generous in shelf space; I use it for my MP's.



    I would've liked all glass shelves, but the only option I see in larger sizes are shop fittings which are expensive. I see myself buying one more of these shelves then calling it a day. I also have a detolf which is full to the brim with G1 figures.

    Why didn't I think of that! would make for an interesting trip back across in the kayak with a couple detolfs strapped to the sides

    Yeah they are non adjustable my wife bought it for fathers day and considering it will be living in our bedroom I didn't get much of a say in which cabinet I got.
    Like Ralph said they are very generous in shelf space which will be good for setting up scenes from the cartoons and movie.

    I suppose 'Ballast' might be the right word

    Wow, set up in the Bedroom!?
    Nice setup Ralph.

    I like to have mine set up in different layouts, this is definitely something I'm going to look at for expansion in the future.
    Glass looks nice but it's slippery, any figures with stability issues r weak hips tend to be even harder to set up on glass.

    I'm in the same boat. Only a Fantastic (which is still fairly new here) and Harvey Norman. I've toyed with the idea of getting one of them but they are pretty pricey. If I can grab them on sale, then I will definitely get one. I've currently got 3 of the singles waiting to be assembled at home.
